Gettysburg Battlefield Tours
​at the Gettysburg Heritage Center

There are several great ways to tour the Gettysburg Battlefield.  The Gettysburg Heritage Center partners with several tour groups to allow you to choose what suits your needs the best! You can go by bus, horse & carriage, horseback or out on your own!
Let us help you determine the best tour for YOU!
We can also help you book your day-trip to Washington D.C.!


Licensed Battlefield Guides

Picture
Tour the Gettysburg Battlefield with a Licensed Battlefield Guide (LBG) in your vehicle! This is a great way to learn and see the battlefield from the comfort of your own vehicle.  Standard tours are 2-hours long, but extended tour options are available.   

​Each guide has an in-depth knowledge of the battle and battlefield and has passed a series of comprehensive and grueling tests, administered by the National Park Service (NPS). Unless you – the customer – objects, the LBG will drive your vehicle. This allows YOU to focus on what the guide is sharing, and not having to worry about navigating the next turn. 


Remember, you must have a seat for the guide in your vehicle.  
For more information, call 717-334-6245
